The slope of a line is negative 1 / 5 and the y-intercept is 5 what is the equation of the line written in general form

Answer;

= x + 5y - 25 = 0

Explanation;

Thee equation of a line in general form is;

Ax + By + C = 0

Where A, B and C are integers.

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b; where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

In this case; m = - 1/5 and b = 5

thus; y = - 1/5 x + 5 (the slope-intercept form)

y = - 1/5 x + 5

Multiplying all terms by 5

5 y = - x + 25

= x + 5 y - 25 = 0 (in general form)
